How Do I Read and Write Roman Numerals?

WELCOME!

This is the new home of my blog that helps people read and write Roman Numerals. Since March 2007 I've been helping people write Roman Numerals (on the Wordpress blog) for birthdays, anniversaries, children's birthdays and tattoos.

I have answered over 1000 questions about how to write Roman Numerals.

Please feel free to continue asking questions via the comments. I'll answer ASAP!

If you want to read through the 1000+ questions and answers click the following link:

1000+ Questions and Answers About Roman Numerals

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Want to impress your friends and family? Learn how to read and write Roman Numerals. It’s easy!

First there are 7 distinct numerals from which to create all the other Roman numerals:

I =1clock.JPG

V =5

X =10

L =50

C =100

D =500

M =1000

To create other numerals you will need to combine two or more of the seven. So, for example, number 2 is II, 3 is III, but 4 is IV. Why? because IIII (four of the same number together) becomes unmanageable. Four then is created by placing I in front of V and subtracting 1 from 5 which equals 4.

So far then we have numerals for our Arabic numbers 1-5. We continue simply adding I to V: VI = 6, VII = 7, VIII=8, but 9 is IX. For the same reason we didn’t use IIII for 4, nine is created by placing I in front of X and subtracting 1 from 10 to get 9 (IX).

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

Numerals above X (10) are XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX is 20.

Then XXX = 30, XXXI = 31 and so on.

XL = 40, XLI = 41 etc.

LX = 60, LXX = 70, LXXX = 80, XC = 90

Let’s try to create a number in Roman numerals. How about 1944. Let’s start from the left:

1000 = M

900 = CM

40 = XL

4 = IV

Put together the numeral is MCMXLIV.

Most of the time Roman numerals are used to express year dates, especially the date for the making of a movie or a television program. Roman numerals are also used on formal documents and papers, analog clocks, and on building cornerstones.

Angie, I'm sorry you lost your brother. 1/21/2009 = I XXI MMIX

If you live in the United States the form for the numerals is as I gave it to you above. If you live in Europe, Britain, Canada the form is: XXI I MMIX Good luck!

Anonymous said...

Thanks in advance. Looking at 10/6/2007. Is X VI MMVII Correct? Also wondering if I can run that vertically instead of horizontally. May be a dumb question, but does it mean the same thing that way. (Wedding date tattoo) Thanks again.

Angie Pauli said...

Thank you very much miss mary.

when writing dates, does the day come before the month? would september 11, 2008 be IX-XI-MMVIII or XI-IX-MMVIII?

Another question: I know you've been telling people to not put dots in between, but I saw a pic of Rihanna's roman numeral tattoo with dots in between, is that wrong??

Anon, classic Roman numerals are written without any periods in between. But if you want to follow wht Rihanna does who am I to tell you not to...:)

Anonymous said...

When you write a date in Roman numeral does the date go before the month? For example, if the date was March 3, 2009 would it be I III MMIX or III I MMIX

Please can you show me how would you write.

Hi,
I am interested in getting a tattoo with either my birthdate, or my aunty's death date.
one is 10/08/1991, but am not sure how to write the year. so far i've come up with X VIII MIMI, but am also unsure as to how i write just the '91' rather than entire year.
For the other date. Its the 4/08/2008, and i've got XIV VIII MMVIII, and XIV VIII VIII.
If you could please tell me where I went wrong that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

joanne, not MCMIXV but MCMXCV (1995)
not MCMIX but MCMXCIX (1999)
Your third numeral is correct. Your fouth numeral is correct. :)

Jay Jeter:

May 24, 1991= V XXIV MCMXCI
May 16, 1968 =V XVI MCMLXVIII
September 24, 1968 = IX XXIV MCMLXVIII :)

ALivia, you are correct. No dashes, no dots. :)

Anon, Jul7 18: 13 feb 2005 = XIII II MMV. you can write it vertically or horizantally , but no dashes, no dots or periods, just spaces.

amanda, 18 06 1989=XVIII VI MCMLXXXIX :)

miggy, I'm not sure what your teacher is getting at... Could you explain a little better?

Anon, the date is correct. Leave one space between discreet numbers.

Anon, May 16, 1988 - May 1, 2009 = V XVI MCMLXXXVIII - V I MMIX :)

Anon, Jan 13, 2008 = I XIII MMVIII
